CHARGED WITH aEREsY

Rev. MT. Free is Arraigned at Willf-
 mantle but the Council Doubtful o1 Its Power.
 WILLIMANTIc, March 9.-A meeting of the
 Windham association of Congregational min
 isters was held in the Congregational church
 this morning to consider the charge of her.
 esy against Rev. s. R. Free. MT. Free was
 present as an interested listener and ready
 to speak if called upon. About one hundred
 spectators were present. MT. Dingwall, of
 Danlelsonville, protested against any action. He said the association had no authority and was liable to libel suit if it proceeded against Mir. Free. MT. Williams quoted the association rules of 1843 as binding upon the association of to-day and representing the ecclesiastical law of the Congregational churches of Connecticut. The rule of 1S43 provides that when minister be guilty of scandal or heresy, and not a member or amenable to any ecclesiastical associa- tion, he may be 1nvestlga- ted by the association in whose vicinity he resides. if he be found guilty he shall be disfellowshiped. MT. Dingwall said the rule of 1843 was superseded by the au- thority of the National Congregational coun- ell Wl1cn V6SCeQ 1n the cQuFCnes OL lu0 N1ClL- age, and not in ministerial associations, all jurisdiction in such cases. Letters were read from Dr. Dexter, editor of the Congre- and Dr. Quint, of Boston, advis- ing against action by the Windham associa- tion and urging procedure by the rules of the National association, that is that the Willimantic church or some church in the vicinage call a council of State churches, give MT. Free and his church hearing and then decide. There was a lively discussion, Mir. Williams of Chaplin insisting that the rule of 1S43 was the law for Connecticut, the Ma tional association notwithstanding. A mo- tion was made to adjourn without action and prevailed. It is not yet certain whether church council will be called, but it is prob able

 COLUMBUS, O., March 9.-It had been an nounced that Mrs. Lucy Parsons would lec-
 ture in this city tonight on the subject of anarchism. But this evening she is locked
 up in the city prison and will have to talk to

 but when the directors discovered that it was
 intended for the use of Mrs. Parsons they ob- iected Mrs. Parsons became furious, went
 to the Mayors office in a rage and became
 very abusive. The Mayor ordered an officer to remove her from the room. This only added to her fury and the Mayor, the officer, the city and the government were denounced in language not only seathing, but so insult ing and defiant that Mayor Wolcott gave an additional order to lock the woman up and she was taken to prison by two officers. She is still in prison and will remain there until the police court opens to morrow.
